New Book Chronicles Epic Struggle
Between Pablo Escobar And Cali Cartel in History’s Biggest Gang War

Escobar versus Cali:
The War of the Cartels chronicles the fascinating story of history’s biggest gang war.
The setting: Colombia, South America; the time: the 1980s and early 1990s. The
participants were known as cartels, and they were responsible for flooding the
world with billions of dollars worth of cocaine. The epic death struggle pitted
Pablo Escobar, the so called “World’s Greatest Outlaw” and leader of the
Medellin cartel, against the brothers Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela, “The Chess
Player,” and Miguel Rodriguez Orejuela, “The Boss”. the leaders of the powerful
Cali cartel. The war left thousands of Colombians dead, spawned the term
“narcoterrorism” and almost turned Colombia into a narcodemocracy. The gang
war, moreover, had major implications for the U.S.’s War on Drug.

When the momentous
battle ended, Escobar was dead and the Cali Cartel stood tall as the world’s
most powerful drug trafficking organization. So who were the major players in
the gangland war? How did it play out? Who took out Pablo Escobar? What role
did the U.S. play? Author Ron Chepesiuk takes the reader behind the
scenes of the war to the death and investigates a gangland mystery. Escobar
versus Cali: The War of the Cartels is must read for anyone who enjoys true
crime and a good story. D4 Entertainment has optioned the film rights to

About Me

My friend William "Slick" Hanner and I wrote his life story THIEF! which was published Oct. 2006, by Barricade Books. Taking part in our constant go-a-rounds over THIEF! was Slick's dog, Herman the German Schnauzer. So endearing was Herman with his woofs of approval or growls of disapproval, that he became the subject of another story I wrote called Dog Justice, a gritty urban detective story for young readers.
